This is a great addition to the game and I’d love to see more of it. I’ve been trying to make a hybrid werebear and minion build for a long time, but it was never very effective or compelling because you have to split your offensive stats. Even going Beastmaster instead of Druid didn’t look that effective to me (and doesn’t have the fun of being a werebear pack leader). There was always that mechanism missing so that both you and your minions could benefit from the same stat(s).
I think it’d be great to add something like this for wolves, since they are also supposed to be a pack skill. I’d love a node or item that let wolves benefit from both physical and critical hit chance stats (since the latter is so important to werebear builds). Storm crows are great, but they don’t synergize with werebear much.
